The Word Awareness Writing Activity (WAWA) permits teachers to trace the development of literacy in children. We know that when young children attempt to write words, their spelling errors reveal an understanding of how words are put together. The research suggests that there is a developmental pattern in the way children form words. Children’s “developmental” spellings are a useful source of information for the assessment of literacy.

The 6-trait analytical model for assessing and teaching writing comprises six key qualities that define strong writing. These are Ideas, the heart of the message; Organization, the internal structure of the piece; Voice, the personal tone and flavor of the author’s message; Word Choice, the vocabulary a writer chooses to convey meaning; Sentence Fluency, the rhythm and flow of the language; and Conventions, the mechanical correctness.
